    M2 without Date

    Hey gents

    Last weekend I visit a friend who has an M2 Inland SN 7225XXX in pretty good shape, the barrel is marked with the P and as Inland MFG Div General Motors but without a date and the flaming bomb, why?

    Btw would you share a link for a video, manual, or tutorial to fully disassemble the all trigger house, please?

    Thank you in advance

    There were several times during Inlands production that barrels were not dated. If I remember right the last one was about August 1944. Your barrel could have been stuck in a bin for many months before being used. Do a search on M2 carbines on U tube. I think you will find what you need there.

    Hey Jim,
    As always thank you for your support, What I really need is an M2 full trigger (Kit) disassemble tutorial or manual.
    Regards

    I used the FM I already had on hand, here's the one others use. https://www.amazon.ca/Carbine-M1A1-A.../dp/0949749508

    It'll all be there.
